luke . . . how much is he going to save on the ice-cream ?
Why so many people can't see what he is just blows my mind. Even in 2008 there was so much stuff about him that people just ignored.
A large part of America just doesn't seem to have core American values anymore.
AK will come along and say times have changed, America isn't the same America you old guys remember. While that is true to a degree, times are always changing but people have the same emotions they've always had.
For people to change they either have to gain or lose in morality, responsibility, fairness and compassion. Or lose the understanding of those things. It seems a large part of America has changed to the deficit side of those qualities.
This tactic of making cuts as painful as possible to ordinary citizens is not an Obama invention.
It used to be called the "Washington Monument gambit." Any time someone in congress proposed cuts, they would say it would force closure of monument tours and other popular activites.
No one ever said, no problem, we can just get rid of all those useless diversity training seminars.
Or, we can save a lot by just stopping offsite training and meetings for federal employees, particularly the GSA.
No, far better to close parks and shut rural airports that people depend on.
Republicans should issue an edict that there will be repercussions for agencies that act irresponsibly. Their budgets will be cut.
Of course, it will never happen. They just hope it will be business as usual soon.

Quote from Scataphagos:
Our elitist government has come to consider the working populace as their own personal slaves. We work. Produce. Are taxed. THEY spend whatever they want.
And to keep that status quo in effect, they use our money to bribe ne'er do wells with money and bennies to keep the politicos in power so that they can keep abusing the productive.
Nice gig, if you can get it.
You have any tar and feathers? These pieces of slime need it MUCH more than the last dipshits to get it. Can't believe... just can't believe America has gotten this dumb, lazy, and uncaring about THEIR Country, and THEIR God given rights!
